I'm thinking that I might have to head down and have a look at this bike.I rode the SV to Wyoming and back earlier this summer and am just plain tired of the riding position. Think this is a good deal? I've just starting shopping and have not yet looked at what used Ulys are going for locally or anything. I think they were around $13K CDN when new.

There was a new Ulysses XT for sale at a (somewhat) local H-D place a year ago, when all the Buells were going for fire-sale prices. Asking price was about CDN $9K (exactly what I paid for my 2003 Firebolt...). If I'da had the bux available, I'da been all over it (I kinda prefer the XT, which came with bags, etc.).

It's a great bike, but, Buell is no more...so I'd wanna sorta push that angle, and deal hard, try to get it for under $9K. The dealership, for sure, wants it outta there...

The last brand new 2010 1125R that I know sold here was $19,500. That is almost double what I paid for mine during the firesale.

We had a load of new XB12Ss and XB12XT models come at the end of last year. They were made in Brazil for the Japanese market and after Japan refused compliance they were remade to Australian design rules and shipped here. They went for a bit over $14,000 but during the fire sale they were $9999.

Hope you have a 35 inch inseam. Then you MIGHT be able to tiptoe it. (smooth move on designing a bike that only 10% of the motorcycle riders out there fit BUELL!!! And that's only 2% of the total population to begin with, so that's some tiny small fraction of people that can ride it!!)

Oh, quit whining. Only the 2006 Uly was super tall...and I rode it successfully, with my 28" inseam. I have to tiptoe pretty much any bike, anyway...

I don't know which one I sat on, but I got a 30" and I couldn't get it off the sidestand. And I REALLY REALLY wanted one (looked to be a GREAT bike and EXACTLY what I wanted!!!)

Yeah, that was likely an 06...they made some changes for the 07s which allowed for a lower seat height.

I couldn't put up the stand on the 06 either--I admit, it's one of the few bikes I've ridden that I honestly feel was "too tall" for me. I do get a bit annoyed, though, when people with much longer inseams than I have start complaining about seat heitght, when they can't flatfoot a bike--hell, I can't flatfoot my own bike...

One pretty well known US Uly rider is around 5'8 and reckons he wouldn't want it any lower.
